Jonathan Meese (Germany, 1970) is a provocative contemporary artist known for his multidisciplinary approach, blending painting, sculpture, and performance.

Form

Sculpture / Object

Sculpture / ObjectA sculpture is a three-dimension object made using any one of the basic sculpting processes. These include carving, casting, constructing or modeling. Carving materials may be bone, ivory, stone or wood. Modeling and casting use clay or wax, while constructions glue materials together.

Medium

Bronze

BronzeBronze is a metal alloy made primarily of copper and tin, with a typical modern composition of 88% copper and 12% tin. Over time, bronze develops a patina, a surface color that often turns deep green due to oxidation. Large bronze objects, such as sculptures, are typically made in foundries. Bronze is valued for its durability and has been widely used throughout history for art, tools, and weapons.

Becoming mature is not important for art.
- Jonathan Meese

Renowned for his anarchic installations, performances and paintings, Jonathan Meese’s work is, by his own account, a reaction to the ‘dictatorship of art’ - focusing on themes of identity, power and revolution, Meese often portrays his own likeness and explains “I exhume to consume”. Many of Meese’s exhibitions are of a multi-media nature; HOT EARL GREEN SAUSAGE TEA BARBIE (FIRST FLUSH) is one of his most acclaimed exhibitions and features a chaotic blend of paintings and prints, grotesque and hellish depictions of human figures cast in bronze, magazine photo collages and large-scale installations that result in an overwhelming socio-political commentary.

What is body art?

Body art involves creating art directly on or with the human body. Common forms include body piercings and tattoos, but it also encompasses practices like branding, scarification, scalping, body painting, full-body tattoos, body shaping, and sub-dermal implants. Body art can also refer to a subcategory of performance art where the artist's body is central to the artwork.
